Definitions

  • the present invention relates to seals and in particular to seals interposed between the platforms of blades in a rotor.
  • a conventional fan rotor for compressing air comprises a disc having a plurality of radially extending blades mounted thereon.
  • the fan blades are mounted on the disc by inserting the radially inner end of the blades in correspondingly shaped retention grooves in the radially outer face of the disc.
  • the fan blades do not have platforms so separate wall members bridge the space between pairs of adjacent blades to define the inner annulus wall for the compressed air. Each wall member is separated from the adjacent blades by a small gap, which accommodate manufacturing tolerances and changes to the blade shape during operation of rotor.
  • seals made from resilient materials, which are bonded to the edges of the wall members adjacent the blades to seal the gap therebetween.
  • the seals are designed to be urged radially outward into engagement with the blades as the rotor rotates.
  • EP-0640172 which is owned by the applicant.
  • the resilient seal strip has an undulating flange portion which is inclined radially inward.
  • the flange portion is deflected radially outwards by centrifugal forces as the rotor rotates and engages with the adjacent fan blades to seal between the wall members and the adjacent blades.
  • the undulations are substantially sinusoidal and enhance the flexibility of the seal member. The undulations however create smaller voids in which air re-circulates to disrupt the airflow in the blade passage.
  • the present invention seeks to provide an improved seal in which seal voids are minimised to avoid re-circulation and so improve the aerodynamic performance of the seal.
  • a seal for reducing the gap between adjacent members which are arranged circumferentially in a rotor the seal has a flange portion which is inclined radially inwards, a cavity is located in the flange portion of the seal whereby in operation the flange position is deflected radially outwards and the cavity fills with a fluid to inflate the seal.
  • the cavity has at least one opening which is in communication with a fluid which in operation passes through the rotor.
  • the fluid which passes into the cavity to inflate the seal is preferably air.
  • the seal consists of a bellows which define the cavity.
  • the bellows may be formed from a resilient material such as rubber.
  • the rubber is reinforced.
  • the rubber may be reinforced by at least one carbon composite member.
  • the carbon composite may be either a single strip having slots therein, to render it sufficiently flexible to accommodate the curvature of the adjacent blades, or a plurality of discrete carbon composite panels.
  • the seal may be further reinforced with a fabric such as polyester.
  • the fabric reinforcement may extend around the carbon composite member.
  • a gas turbine engine 10 which operates in conventional manner has a fan rotor 12 arranged at its upstream end.
  • the fan rotor 12 consists of a number of fan blades 14, which are mounted on a radially outer face 18, figure 2, of a disc 16.
  • the fan blades are curved in an axially extending direction.
  • the fan blades 14 do not have platforms and wall members 20 bridge the spaces between adjacent pairs of blades 14.
  • the wall members 20 are fastened to the radially outer face 18 of the disc 16 and define the inner wall of a flow annulus for air compressed by the fan.
  • Each wall member 20, figure 3, consists of a platform 22 having a foot 24.
  • the foot 24 extends radially inwardly of the platform 22 and engages in the radially outer face 18 of the disc 16.
  • the foot 24 has a dovetail cross-section and engages a complementary shaped groove in the outer face 18 of the disc 16. It will however be appreciated that the feet 24 could be attached to the disc by other means such as hooks (not shown).
  • the platform 22 has axially extending side edges 26 that are in close proximity to the adjacent fan blade 14.
  • the side edges 26 of the platform 22 are curved to follow the curvature of the adjacent fan blades 14.
  • a void 28 exists between the platform 22 of each wall member 20 and the radially outer face of the disc 18.
  • the void 28 is full of air, which is at a higher static pressure than air above the platform 22 in the blade passages.
  • Seals 30 are provided to bridge the gap between the edge 26 of the platform 22 and the blades 14. The seals 30 prevent air flowing from the void 28 into the blade passage.
  • Each side edge 26, figure 4, of the platform 22 is provided with a seal 30.
  • the seal 30 is moulded in silicone rubber and is bonded along the edge 26 of the platform 22 by an adhesive 29, such as silicone sealant.
  • the seal 30 consists of rubber bellows 32 which have a cavity 34 therein.
  • the cavity 34 is open at one end adjacent the rear of the rotor 12.
  • pressurised air fills the cavity 34 and inflates the rubber bellows 32.
  • the seal 30 expands and is urged into abutment with the adjacent blade 14.
  • Inflation of the rubber bellows 32 ensures that the seal 30 expands to fill the gap between the edges 26 of the wall member 20 and the blades 14. A good seal is thus maintained throughout operation of the rotor 12 and prevents the air in the void 28 passing into the blade passage.
  • seal 32 is expandable it can be formed from materials which are not resilient.
  • the seals 30 have a flange portion 36 which is inclined radially inward and has a rigid reinforcement arm 38 embedded therein.
  • the reinforcement arm 38 is made of carbon composite and has slots cut into it which give flexibility so that the seal 30 can accommodate the curvature of the surfaces of the blade 14.
  • the slots in the reinforcement arm 38 may run from one edge to the other, separating the carbon composite into separate panels as shown in figure 7. Alternatively the slots may run only part way up the reinforcement arm 38 to give a comb structure as shown in figure 8 which has a continuous strip of carbon composite 37 along one edge.
  • the edge 37 of the carbon composite reinforcement arm 38 is positioned adjacent the edge 26 of platform 22 and forms a hinge about which the flange portion 36 of the seal 30 can rotate.
  • centrifugal forces act on the flange portion 36 of the seal 30 and urge it radially outward.
  • the flange portion 36 rotates about the hinge under the centrifugal forces.
  • the hinge effect of the reinforcement arm 38 allows the seal 30 to be effective in a wide range of gaps between the edge 26 of the platform 22 and the adjacent blade 14.
  • the rubber bellows 32 is reinforced with a fabric 33, such as polyester.
  • a fabric 33 such as polyester.
  • the reinforcing fabric 33 extends around the free end and up the back of the rigid reinforcement arm 38 for added strength.
  • the reinforcing fabric 33 terminates at the free end of the reinforcing arm 38 to give a lighter construction.
  • the rubber bellows 32 extends above and below the platform 22 of the wall member 20. This enhances the effectiveness of the seal 30 by substantially eliminating any voids between the seal 30 and the adjacent blade 14. Air cannot re-circulate in the seal voids thus preventing any disruption to the airflow in the blade passage.
  • a seal 30 in accordance with the present may be inflated by fluids other than air and may have application other than in the rotor 12 of a gas turbine engine.
